Community Guidelines

Do

• Share your training: workouts, PRs, progress, the gym you're at, the gear you use.
• Hype people up. Fire, Flex and Respect are there for a reason.
• Give helpful, respectful feedback, and only when it's wanted.
• Tag exercises and equipment so others can find your post.
• Report anything that breaks these rules, and block anyone you don't want to hear from.

Keep it clean

• No nudity or sexual content. No nude or partly nude photos, no sexual poses or captions, no sexual comments about anyone.
• No underwear or lingerie photos.
• No profanity. No curse words, slurs or crude language, including disguised spellings like swapped letters or symbols.

Photos: what's OK

For members 18 and older:

• Normal gym and athletic wear: tank tops, sports bras, compression gear, shorts, leggings.
• Shirtless progress or gym photos, as long as nothing sexual is shown or implied.
• Swimwear only in a real training or competition setting, like a swim workout or a physique show stage. These may be held for review before others can see them.

For members under 18: no shirtless, swimwear or underwear photos at all.

Also:

• Only post photos of other people if they agreed to it. No photos taken in locker rooms or bathrooms.
• Never post anyone else's private information, or photos showing addresses or ID cards.

Be respectful

• No harassment, bullying, threats or piling on.
• No body-shaming or mocking anyone's size, shape, strength or progress.
• No hate speech or hate symbols aimed at anyone for who they are.
• Don't @mention or tag people to annoy them.
• Don't pretend to be someone else, a gym or a brand.

Keep it safe

• No promoting self-harm, eating disorders, extreme dieting or dangerous challenges.
• No selling or promoting steroids, illegal drugs or banned performance-enhancing substances.
• No graphic violence or gore.
• Protect minors. Any sexual content involving someone under 18 is removed immediately, the account is closed, and it is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children and law enforcement.

If someone is in danger right now, call 911 or your local emergency number.

Keep it real

• No spam, scams, fake giveaways or follow-for-follow schemes.
• No ads or selling without Ryvol's permission.
• Only post content you own or have permission to use.
• Don't fake workouts, PRs or trophies.

How we enforce these rules

• Every photo is screened automatically before others see it. Rule-breaking photos are rejected, and borderline ones wait for a Ryvol reviewer.
• Text with profanity is refused when you post it.
• When several members report a post or comment, it's hidden until we review it.
• We may remove content, limit features, suspend or permanently close accounts, depending on how serious and how repeated the violation is.
